      <image:title>Thoughts Along the Journey - Searching for Signs of Life - There, among the branches, were small signs of life.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I shared the exciting news with our children (who didn’t seem nearly as excited as I was), and then I sat down and thought about how much like life this whole experience has been. One day we are living life like always. What is, feels like what it will always be. Until something happens and our world falls apart. Someone we love dies. We lose our job. Our broken world causes us to grieve. The joy and promise of life gets turned toward loneliness, grief, and barrenness.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We will always grieve the death of our person, the opportunities we chose to not taken, career choices that we wish we’d never taken, jobs lost, or relationships dissolved. Grief doesn’t just diminish over time until, one day, *POOF* it disappears.</image:caption>

They tore their robes and threw dust on their heads. And they sat. For seven days, they didn’t say a word because they knew there simply were no words.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Thoughts Along the Journey - It’s the other losses that are going to break me - When we grieve, we often find ourselves grieving more than just who or what we have lost. Often times we have to take on new responsibilities, find a new community, search for a new job, and navigate a future we didn’t see coming. We might have to flex physical, mental, and emotional muscles we haven’t used in awhile. We will likely have to give ourselves pep talks, reminding ourselves that we are indeed braver than we thought we are.</image:title>
